Our Groom's Cake Was Very Popular

Feeding chocolate-covered strawberries to our guests.
We were blessed with beautiful late-May weather for our simple outdoor wedding. The apple trees, lilacs and wisteria were all in bloom.
I had a wonderful, hazelnut wedding cake decorated with fresh flowers created by Lorelie of Lorelie's Luscious Cakes. She must have baked me 3 or 4 samples before I decided on the recipe. They were all delicious, but I think I was asking her to replicate a flavor from my memory.
She had suggested we also have a groom's cake, for my husband love of chocolate. Knowing his love of strawberries, we decided to top it with chocolate-covered strawberries.
When it came time to cut the cake, we wanted something different. So, we chose James Brown's "I Feel Good" as our "cake" song. After being fed a slice of cake, I chose a strawberry and fed that to my new husband then we each turned and offered one to a nearby guest. Soon a line had formed and every one of the strawberries was offered to a guest.
